PI10741: #ERROR# IS PREFIXED TO IBM HTTP SERVER'S SERVERNAME DIRECTIVE WHEN UPDATED IN THE ADMIN CONSOLE UNDER GLOBAL DIRECTIVES

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When the ServerName directive is updated with http:// or
https:// in front of the hostname in the Administrative console
under Web servers > webserver_definition > Global Directives,
the ServerName directive is prefixed with #ERROR#.

Steps to reproduce:
1) From the administrative console navigate to
Web servers > webserver_definition > Global Directives

2) Change the Server Name to:  http://server.ibm.com:80
3) Click OK to save, then Propagate the change to the web server
4) From Web servers > webserver_definition click the Edit
button next to http.conf to view the file.
5) Scroll to the ServerName directive which is incorrectly
updated as #ERROR# ServerName http://server.ibm.com:80 instead
of ServerName http://server.ibm.com:80.

The problem does not cause a start or stop problem with the
IBM Http Server.
WebSphere Application Server v7, v8.0 and 8.5 are affected.

Local fix

Manually edit the httpd.conf file and remove #ERROR# from the
front of the ServerName directive.
Save the httpd.conf file and restart the server.

The console code does not parse the server name correctly when
http or https is included in the server name.

Problem conclusion

The console code now parses the server name correctly when
http or https is included in the server name.
